Dominic’s POV
They call me the devil's son, they fear and tremble in my presence. I have not seen or heard of that man or woman that wouldn’t run into hiding when my name is mentioned.Why play by the rules when I can make my own rules?The rules are so cliché, that is why I play by my own rules and I get whatever I want, No one dares to stand in my way, not even the king who is too damn lazy to handle his own affairs.I am expanding my territories, I need more lands to accommodate my people and to achieve my dream of getting all werewolves under my rule. The Lycan king is just a lazy, asshole who got to be king simply because he is a freaking lycan.Soon, I am going to get all the Alphas and their packs to be under me and if he tries to challenge me, I’ll fucking kill him. He can be the king of Lycans, I don’t care, but he would never be my king.“I, Dominic Rayleigh would be the king of all wolves and nothing would stand in my way.”The Blue Crescent Pack is my target right now. I just conquered the pack that’s closest to their territory, now, it is their turn to fall under my command.I asked the Alpha of the Blue Crescent to step down and renounce his title as Alpha, but he kept acting stubborn, trying to bargain with me, offering me many things in exchange for his title. The dude even offered me his first daughter, urging me to mate with his daughter and leave his pack.That had fucking pissed me off! I never want to mate with any girl. I prefer having a girl that knows nothing about me, not a girl that would be scared of me because of the stories she had heard about me. Every week, my boys go into the big city and get me some sexy human girls that can satisfy my sexual desires. Having them is way better than having a mate.If I find that girl that the moon goddess wants me to mate with, I swear, I’ll fucking kill her. I don’t want a mate and I most certainly do not want a Luna. No power-hungry bitch would share my throne with me. For all I know, she could be one of those scarred little girls that would run the other way when they discover that they are to be mated to Alpha Dominic.I don’t want any of those shit, my life is going just the way I planned it and that is all that matters to me. When I finally become the king, I’ll get an omega to bear me a pup that would become the heir to my dynasty. Robert Delaney is so desperate to keep his title as Alpha which simply proves that he is unfit to hold that title. I gave him an ultimatum, giving him some time to change his mind and come to terms with the fact that he is no longer an Alpha. Then I heard that he was not planning to leave at all, instead, he was working on his security system, working with his warriors to try and stop me.How stupid and pathetic!It became obvious to me that he is one of the dumb ones that never listens, So I let him continue with his stupid plans, letting him believe that he has a chance to escape. On one cold winter night, I decided to show him just how ruthless I can be.I stormed his pack with my warriors, killing everyone that tried to run away, breaking through their stupid excuse of a security system. I found Robert Delaney meeting with his beta, his Gamma, and his head warriors. I guess they are still working on their strategies to evade my attack.We took them by surprise and I succeeded in taking out all who stood in my way, burning down all their armor rooms, and destroying every scheme they had put together to attack me. It was such a bloody battle and as usual, I won the battle and conquered the Blue Crescent pack, forcing them to live under my reign.I dragged him home to end his miserable life before his family, I had to make sure that no one related to the Alpha escapes me so no one can challenge me when I dominate his people. As soon as I stepped into his house, I got caught the most beautiful and intoxicating scent that nearly turned my beast into a lovesick puppy. He began stirring in my head, leading me further into the house until it pulled me to a stop at one of the bedroom doors.I slowly opened the door, and the intoxicating smell hit me with full force, pulling at my heartstrings as my wolf kept on howling happily, wagging his tail as he chanted the words,Mate mate mate mate“Nooooo…”I screamed in rage as I smashed everything in that room. “I’ll kill her, I’ll fucking kill her. I don’t want a mate, I don’t want a Luna!”I searched the whole room, looking for the bitch that the moon goddess wants to use to tame me and tie me down. I tumbled the entire room, searching every nook and cranny but she wasn’t there. I ran down the stairs in rage, moving to stand in front of Alpha Robert Delaney.“Where the fuck is that bitch?” I asked him in rage, toppling over him with my height as I stared down at him in disgust. He kept his head down, refusing to look at me and ignoring my question.“Hand her over and I’ll spare your lives,” I bargained desperately. I need to end her right now so I can be free of the shackles of the mating bond. I could already feel my heart softening as I inhaled her scent. How can I continue my mission to rule all werewolves if I become soft-hearted?I can’t let that happen, I’ll never have a mate, never. She would only make me go soft and weak, she’ll ruin all my hard work. She is not my mate, she would never be my Luna. The Alpha is ignoring me and it’s fucking pissing me off.“Where is she?” I barked furiously, making the little girl scream out in fear as she hugs her mother even tighter, hiding her face away. The Alpha had a fierce and determined look on his face, I knew he wouldn’t budge, he’s a stubborn man but I’ll teach him not to mess with me.“Sort this out Dwayne, I can’t stand them anymore. I’ll meet you guys at the pack house.” I ordered my Beta before turning to head for the exit, when I moved to turn around, I caught sight of a family portrait that sat on a little table by the corner. I got pulled towards the direction of the table with my eyes fixed on a particular face that was smiling so brightly in the picture. “Holy Shit!” I swore within myself. She is so damn gorgeous, so beautiful, with her blonde hair that screams perfection, making her blue eyes stand out, drowning me in their pools, calling me in.Oh No, it’s happening, I'm falling for her already. This is why I hate the mating bond, it makes you lose yourself and you fall hopelessly in love with her, disregarding everything else and spending time with Your mate.That’s never going to happen to me, I’ll find her and when I do, I’ll kill the bitch. With her gone, I can now focus on my plans to be king of all wolves. I’ll never let her come into my life and mess things up for me.“Comb the pack's entire territory, I need this girl found before tomorrow. Close every border, search every damn house until you find this girl. She is a threat to everything I’ve worked for. Find her or I’ll have your heads!” I ordered fiercely as I threw the portrait at Dwayne before storming out of that house in quick strides.Her scent was suffocating me in that house. The longer I stay in there and inhaled her scent, the more I longed for her presence in my life. Her scent brings me peace of mind and it calms my troubled soul. It makes me want to have her all to myself, it makes me want to have her in my arms and kiss her, moving my lips down her…Oh my God!Oh my God!What am I thinking about?I don’t want her in my life, I want her found so I can get rid of her and move on with my life. That is exactly what I want to do with her, nothing else. I want nothing to do with her, right?Fuck!Am going insane already. Damn her and Damn the moon goddess.Bethany’s POVSleep had evaded me all through the night, from my hideout in Carl's basement, I could hear the turmoil and chaos from our pack members, everyone was scared and they were trying to escape from the wicked Alpha but there was no escape because the whole pack was surrounded.I heard a shuffling coming from the stairs that lead down to the basement, I looked up in fear, thinking it was the warriors from the wicked Alpha but it turned out to be Carl and he looked frightened as hell as he walked past me and pushed at the broken cabinet that was leaning against a wall by the corner.“Carl, what’s going on, what are you doing?” I asked him nervously, as I stood up and wiped away my tears, before going up to him. He ignored my questions and continued dragging on the cabinet until it finally gave way. Behind the cabinet is a hidden door but I have no idea what’s inside that door.Could it be weapons that he needs to fight off our attackers?“What are you doing Carl, what do you ha
Dominic's POVI never knew I would be this desperate to find a girl that I don't even want. I had waited to turn around and leave so Dwayne would search for her, but something in me just wouldn't let me leave, I just want to find her and make sure she is okay. What the hell is wrong with me?Why can't I just leave?I had my men combing through the woods, searching every house, every corner, searching for her. I did not stay back like I earlier intended, I went along with some guys, searching for her.With the way I'm searching for her, you would think I have other motives for searching this hard, you'd never know that I simply want to put an end to her miserable life and send her to the afterlife.That’s why I’m searching for her, right?I do t even know anymore. This whole thing is messing with my head, I need to get rid of her so I can get my head back in the game. Something big is coming, there is a war coming and I need to be ready for it, otherwise, our entire population would b
Dominic’s POV“Where is my mate?” I asked him fiercely, looking deep into his eyes as I stared him down. I could see the fear in his eyes as I called her my mate. My boys were also looking at me with surprise they had no idea that she is my mate.When I told them to find her, they thought I wanted to keep her locked up with her parents, they had no idea that she is my one true mate. I could feel their eyes on me as they all gawked at me, but that was not my major concern right now.With every minute I stand out here, I am losing my connection to my mate, I know we have not established a connection yet, but I felt a calming peace when I perceived her amazing scent. It had pulled me to her, and I loved the feeling of having her close by.But I don’t feel it anymore, it feels like the distance between the two of us is increasing by the minute. It felt like all the warmth I felt earlier had only been my imagination like she never even existed. It’s making me go crazy, I want to feel that
Three Years Later,Bethany’s POVLife as an independent adult away from her family and friends was not easy. In fact, it was harder than I’d ever imagined and it was humbling.If only Carl had agreed to come with me, but he was right to send me away, he had to make sure I was not caught by the tyrant Alpha Dominic. I only hope that he is safe wherever he might be.Back at the train station two years ago, I had tried to stall a little and wait for him but he never showed up and my wolf kept howling in my head, urging me to go back home, it felt like something bad had happened to him and I know it’s all my fault, I was not strong enough to defend my people. I ran off like a scared little cat, leaving them to their fate.I am the Alpha's first daughter, I should be capable of leading and defending the pack in my father's absence, but I’d failed them all, I ran away from my responsibilities and I had also put my boyfriend in danger, leaving him at the mercy of the tyrant. Since I left, my
Dominic’s POVMiserable…That’s how I feel right now. You know that feeling when you start thinking about the choices you’ve made in life and you start wondering what your life has come to?Well, that’s was how I felt after she ran away from me. My blood was boiling in rage. My body was shaking in rage and lost every ounce of control and I turned back to the beast and power-drunk Alpha.Carl was my only link to her and I kept him locked in my dungeon, torturing him for her location every damn day. But he maintained his story, he said he has no idea where she could have gone. He admitted to giving her some money to last her for some time, but that was all we could get out of him.Dwayne had kept to his promise. He had rallied some warriors and searched every city from New York to Washington, searching every town for her but it seems like she fell off the surface of the earth, they just couldn’t find her. I must confess, she is so smart to have evaded my warriors for over six months. I
Bethany’s POVThis is good, this is so good. This is a perfect opportunity to put an end to that maniac, the moon goddess must be with me, this is my destiny, I must avenge my family.As I walked out of that champagne room, I felt my wolf pouncing and howling excitedly. I think she misses the fin of being around our people. I have to admit, I also miss it, I miss everyone. I always let her out to go for a run, but it is nothing compared to running in the woods with my friends, enjoying the feel of the full moon on our furs, chasing tiny unsuspecting animals to their holes. It was so much fun and it’s nothing compared to my lonely run in the park.I miss Carl. I know, I should miss my family even more, but I don’t really think about them anymore. I heard their screams that night, I felt their pain as that demon tortured and killed them all. I miss them too but I’ve moved past their death, I’ve learned to live without them. My only worry now is Carl. I know he is alive, I can feel it in
Bethany POVI stopped home to pick up some things. I never lost any of the things I had with me when I ran away from home. I gathered my old phone and the other phone that Carl had gotten for me. Most importantly, I took along my body spray that hides my scent, I wouldn’t want the guys to sniff me out among the girls, they could label me a traitor and I’ll be thrown in the dungeon, never to see the light ever again.Teaching Ciara and Fiona about our jobs had been so hilarious, they obviously know nothing about being a stripper. We taught them how to face and tease their audience at the same time, although I wasn’t sure if we’ll be doing all that at the party. They were catching up faster than I did when I started out, but I’m not even sure that the werewolves would be keen to watch us dance and tease them all day.If I’m not mistaken, King Dominic is the host of the party, and he is a pig and a brute, so I’m pretty sure that everyone at that party would be dickheads like him. They wo
Dominic’s POV“Secure our borders, send more guards to keep watch on the gate, I don’t want any surprises, keep all intruders out.” I instructed Carl and Harriet as I shifted into my beast and went out to engage the infiltrators before they could get here.I got a report from my spies to inform me that the king is sending some warriors to infiltrate my castle. I sent some men to investigate and they confirmed that it is true. He had planned to take me unawares. He must have heard about my victory party, that is why he sent his men over to sneak in when we weren’t looking.I’ve got a mole in my camp and he/she is biting more than they can chew. My castle is fortified like a fortress and I’m pretty sure that they can never sneak past my security measures. I had my warriors split into four groups and we chased them through the woods, driving them towards one of the minefields around my borders. We watched them get blown into bits and pieces, putting an end to their miserable lives. King
